Well usually it's better to keep both at the same build level, or at least the device API level is higher than the development API.

Also what is important is the target API.

A more valid reason as to why? -- find it here Virtual Devices - Android Website

Hope this helps

Is your build API and device type API both version 20?

No, my build API is 14 and device type API is 20. I create new project with build API 19 and my new device type is also 19. Now everything is working properly, thank you very much. Does build API and device type API must always be the same?
